What the source says
Over the two months after the conflict began, food prices rose 5 percent compared to the prior two months, driven primarily by oils and meals, which surged 10 percent due to higher crude oil prices and expanded biofuel mandates.
Checked: the figure 5% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
